New Buffalo took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Lawrence Tigers a 21-0 shutout. The Bison have beaten the Tigers the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Tigers has come to flipping the script.
J Tertel made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Tertel was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
In other batting news, V Nikkel was a standout: he scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. N Wolfe was another key player, scoring three runs while going 2-for-2.
New Buffalo always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .793. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lawrence only posted an OBP of .143.
New Buffalo will have a chance to go back-to-back against Lawrence: the pair will be back at it again later today.
